25th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
ESSLLI 2013
August 5-16, 2013
Duesseldorf, Germany
http://esslli2013.de/

The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information 
(ESSLLI) has been organized by the Association for Logic, Language 
and Information (FoLLI) in different sites around Europe since 1989. 
The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between linguistics, logic 
and computation.

Important Dates

15 June 2012: Proposal submission deadline
15 September 2012: Notification
1 June 2013: Course material due

Topics and Format

Proposals for courses and workshops at ESSLLI'2013 are invited in all 
areas of Logic, Linguistics and Computing and Information Sciences. 
Cross-disciplinary and innovative topics are particularly encouraged.

Each course and workshop will consist of five 90 minute sessions, 
offered daily (Monday-Friday) in a single week.  Proposals for two-
week courses should be structured and submitted as two independent 
one-week courses, e.g. as an introductory course followed by an 
advanced one. In such cases the ESSLLI programme committee 
reserves the right to accept just one of the two proposals.

All instructional and organizational work at ESSLLI is performed 
completely on a voluntary basis, so as to keep participation fees to a 
minimum. However, organizers and instructors have their registration 
fees waved, and are reimbursed for travel and accommodation 
expenses up to a level to be determined and communicated with the 
proposal notification. ESSLLI can only guarantee reimbursement for at 
most one course/workshop organizer, and can not guarantee full 
reimbursement of travel costs for lecturers or organizers from outside 
of Europe. The ESSLLI organizers would appreciate any help in 
controlling the School's expenses by seeking complete coverage of 
travel and accommodation expenses from other sources.

Categories

Each proposal should fall under one of the following categories.

Fundamental Courses

Such courses are designed to present the basics of a research area, to 
people with no prior knowledge in that area.  They should be of 
elementary level, without prerequisites in the course's topic, though 
possibly assuming a level of general scientific maturity in the relevant 
discipline.  They should enable researchers from related disciplines to 
develop a level of comfort with the fundamental concepts and 
techniques of the course's topic, thereby contributing to the 
interdisciplinary nature of our research community.

Introductory Courses

Introductory courses are central to ESSLLI's mission. They are
intended to introduce a research field to students, young researchers, 
and other non-specialists, and to foster a sound understanding of its 
basic methods and techniques. Such courses should enable 
researchers from related disciplines to develop some comfort and 
competence in the topic considered. Introductory courses in a cross-
disciplinary area may presuppose general knowledge of the related 
disciplines.

Advanced Courses

Advanced courses are targeted primarily to graduate students who 
wish to acquire a level of comfort and understanding in the current 
research of a field.

Workshops

Workshops focus on specialised, usually topics of current
interest. Workshops organisers are responsible for solliciting papers 
and selecting the workshop programme.

Proposal Guidelines

Course and workshop proposals should follow closely the following 
guidelines to ensure full consideration.

Each course may have no more than two instructors, and each 
workshop no more than two organizers.  All instructors and organizers 
must possess a PhD or equivalent degree by the submission deadline.

Course proposals should mention explicitly the intended course
category. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the 
intended level, for example as it relates to standard textbooks and 
monographs in the area. Proposals for advanced courses should 
specify the prerequisites in detail.

Proposals must be submitted in PDF format via:
